## Romer / RomerRDS Portable Arm: Introduction

Romer and RomerRDS Portable arms are articulated arm machines that use either a hard probe or a laser probe to measure parts.

PC-DMIS uses RDS to interface with your RomerRDS arm, or WinRDS to interface with a Romer arm. Refer to the RDS or WinRDS documentation for detailed information about configuring and using your portable arm.

To use a Romer or RomerRDS arm device with PC-DMIS, you must have your LMS license or portlock programmed with the correct interface option. If you are using a laser scanning probe, you also need to have the Laser Probe option with the Probe Type programmed.

Also, the Rotary Table LMS license or portlock option MUST NOT be selected when you are using a portable device. This can cause problems with your portable device.

The information provided in the topics in this chapter was written specifically for Romer arms, but it may apply to non-Romer arms.
